This ignoble and evil act was going to be carried out by a group of common prisoners from the same prison. If it hadn’t been for the cautiousness and readiness of the sahrawi political prisoners, they would have paid it dearly. The Moroccan criminals were carrying white weapons, crystal bottles, sticks and recipients full of burning oil.
It isn’t the first time that something of the sort happens. As a matter of fact, these kind of subvert operations are most often given the green light, and even backed up by the Moroccan penitentiary authorities.
Through these methods, the Moroccan authorities of occupation wish to be able to silence the voices of all human right defenders who fight for the respect for human rights, and particularly, the internationally renowned right of self determination.
The Association for the Families of Saharawi Prisoners and the Disappeared
(AFAPREDESA) firmly denounces these illegal acts which put the physical
and psychological integrity of the sahrawi human rights defenders in Moroccan
dungeons in uttermost danger. AFAPREDESA condemns and recognizes the Moroccan
authorities as responsible of all consequences derived from the criminal
acts made by the Moroccan prisoners against the sahrawi activists withheld
in Moroccan jails.
AFAPREDESA calls on all human rights organizations to intervene against
the Moroccan government with the end of liberating all arbitrarily detained
sahrawi political prisoners immediately and unconditionally once and for
all
